MAINTENANCE
Before operating your Rotary Cutter, make sure it is properly lubricated and thoroughly inspected. Only a
minimum of time and effort is required to regularly lubricate and maintain this machine to provide long life and
trouble free operation.
Always disengage the PTO before raising the Rotary Cutter for transporting or making
adjustments.
Lubrication
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas. The
illustrations below shows lubrication points (Figure Mnt-R-008 & Mnt-R-0081). The chart gives the frequency
of lubrication in hours, based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more
frequent lubrication .
Use an SAE multipurpose, lithium-type grease for all locations shown. Be sure to clean the fitting thoroughly
before using grease gun. Daily lubrication of the driveline slip joint is necessary. Failure to maintain proper
lubrication will result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and/or driveshaft.
